Sandra Bullock recently said that she needs to take a break from acting and Hollywood.
But Star claimed to know the real reason for the actress’s surprising decision.
A source claimed that Bullock realized that it was now time to take a break because her last movie, The Lost City turned out to be a disaster.
The insider alleged that Hollywood executives thought that the movie would be a huge hit especially since it was one of the first movies to be released in the theater during the pandemic. And true enough, it raked in $187.7 million worldwide.
However, it was the reviews that the movie got that upset the actress.
“She put her heart and soul into that movie. She was disappointed in the reviews. She’s trying to look at the positives. She’s the epitome of the Hollywood pro,” the source said.
The source also said that Bullock has been struggling with her mental health. In 2014, a man broke into her home while was alone. Bullock was unharmed because she managed to hide behind a locked door.
In 2018, the man was scheduled to attend his court hearing but he was unable to do so. It was later revealed that he killed himself.
Following the incident, Bullock sought treatment for PTSD because she has never been the same since.
Meanwhile, one of the upsides to Bullock taking a break from acting is being able to spend more time with her kids and longtime partner, Bryan Randall.
“Now, they’re looking forward to quality time together,” the source said.
However, the claims made by the tabloid are not necessarily accurate. There are a lot of reasons why Bullock decided to take a break from acting. But she never said anything about getting negative reviews for The Lost City.
And while it is true that the actress suffered from PTSD following the break-in, she didn’t also say that this was why she wanted to take a break from Hollywood.
Other sources also claimed that this is Bullock’s last-ditch effort to save her relationship with Randall because the latter complained that she doesn’t have much time for her.
However, these claims haven’t been proven either. Randall and Bullock are still together and are very happy with each other’s company because they’ve been together for years.
